Interested suppliers must complete this exercise to support future direction and decision-making. Relevant interactions are due by 22nd August 2024, and the procurement details are available through Jaggaer's platform. The contract value is estimated to be 1,000,000 GBP, addressing all regions across the UK. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in innovative and effective physical effector solutions, especially those involved in the electronics warfare and defence sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing counter-drone capabilities, along with those capable of addressing identified capability gaps, are well-suited to participate. Moreover, businesses with a commitment to the ongoing research and development of counter-drone systems, who can provide innovative or novel solutions, may find this an advantageous entry point for collaboration with the Home Office.

The strategic principles for the development and approval of Counter Drone capabilities, including physical effector capabilities, will be agreed on an all-UK basis under a coordination and governance structure led by the Home Office. NPCC, the Home Office and other relevant governmental partners have a duty to monitor the continuing research into, and the development of, acceptable and effective Counter Drone systems in response to an evolving operational requirement and identified capability gaps. As part of the continual development of the NPCC counter-drones strategy, this Request For Information aims to scope and identify a range of current, innovative or novel physical effector solutions. This information will enable development of effector requirements and capability planning to support future procurements. This information may also be used to identify or develop future demonstration event, development challenges, or testing. This is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the national Counter Drones capability, in order to maintain public confidence and ensure the safety of both the public and police. This RFI is an information gathering exercise to support future direction and decision making in this area to establish potential physical effector solutions and whether suitable options can be identified.
